Nigeria has achieved remarkable
milestones in its development over the last decade. The
country has enjoyed sustained economic growth, averaging 6
percent gross domestic product (GDP) growth since 2004, and
has outperformed the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) regional
average growth rate of 4 percent for much of that period.
The main objective of this economic and sector work (ESW) is
to support the government reform agenda in the education
sector by providing analytical input in the areas of
governance, and finance to enable the sector to address its
key issues. The report focuses on two of the most salient
education challenges highlighted in the first policy note;
equity and quality of basic education, and investigates the
root causes of these two key challenges utilizing a problem
driven approach within the governance, and finance
framework. The report provides a holistic approach to the
analysis by considering all facets influencing service
delivery. Section one gives introduction. Sections two and
three provide a brief overview of the country context in
terms of its macro-economy, political economy, and education
sector in Nigeria. Section four provides the legal,
institutional, and accountability framework pertaining to
the basic education governance system. Section five provides
an overview of the education sector finance, and the
political economy of resources allocation. Section six
focuses on the two key education challenges, equity and
quality of education, and provides a problem-driven approach
to analyze the issues in the context of governance,
accountability, and finance. The main conclusions and policy
recommendations are provided at the end of each sub-section
of the analysis. |
